Something that you made by hand to give to your friend.

You should say:

What did you make?

How did you make it?

Why did you give it to your friend?

How did you feel about it?

Sample Answer

Art and craft are highly engaging and entertaining activities, and many people work on different arts and crafts during their leisure time. I also like doing art and craftwork such as pottery, origami, and painting. I am more involved with craft work, especially with toys and trinkets, and I have made a lot of small toys for toddlers.

I have a young friend in my neighborhood who plays cricket with me. While we were speaking one day, he told me about his fondness for cars. He also told me that almost all of his toys were cars, and he played a lot with them as well. At that moment, an idea struck me. I came back to my home and quickly took out a small battery operated motor that was lying around unused. My idea was to use that motor to make a homemade toy car and gift it to him. I went around the house in search of materials such as cardboard, nuts, bolts, bottle caps, wires, and batteries. After collecting all the items, I assembled the car and worked on it until I was satisfied with the result.

It took me two days to complete the toy car, fortunately in time for his birthday on the weekend. Thinking that it would be a sensible gift, I had painted it and gift wrapped it as well. On his birthday, I gave him the car as a gift, and he liked it a lot. He said that the gift meant a lot to him. Due to this, I felt elated and proud of my skill and my idea.

IELTS Cue Card: Describe a photo that you remember well

You should say:

Which photo is it?

Why do you remember it?

Why is it special?

Sample Answer

Photos are the best way to capture important moments in our lives. I have garnered a collection of many interesting photographs over the course of my life. These have been clicked in different places with different people, and mean a lot to me. Today, I’ll take about a photo that is very special to me.

It is a picture of my family. I can vividly remember, it was taken in May 2008 when my family had gathered for my cousin’s marriage. I live in a nuclear family and it is very rare to have a family get together as my father’s siblings and my grandparents live in far-away cities. We all had come to Delhi, my grandfather’s place, for the wedding celebrations.

With everyone together, each celebration was a lot of fun. On the last day, a grand reception was hosted at a famous hotel. Since it was the last function, all of us were planning to leave after the ceremony. Just before leaving, my mother insisted everyone to gather around for a family photograph. It took a while to get everyone on the stage and take our positions for a photo. After taking a few trial shots, the photographer clicked a very lively photo.

It is very special to me because it is the last photograph of my complete family. A few months after the wedding, my grandfather passed away and my cousin went overseas for his higher studies. Whenever I feel sad, I look at this photo. It relaxes my mind and reminds me of the beautiful times I have had.
